Hi,

Can anyone tell me why this happens?

I have created some colored balls. They have a blank texture, medium shininess, stucco bumpiness, and blue, green pink, etc, color. Sometimes (most of the time) they look normal (left panel). Sometimes they get psychedelic (right panel).

What's up with that? I know it has to do with my graphics card (nVidia eGeForce 7600) because other people don't see the whacked colors.

Thanks,

Doug

Have a look at this thread:

I think its about the same issue, no real solutions, but some ideas to try.

Thanks Wulfric,

Thats what I get for not doing my homework first. That thread (and another one) advised to uncheck "Enable OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects" in the Advanced Graphics tab.

I can now put my seizure medication back in the drawer.

Thanks again,

Well ......

If I could get them to appear to everyone all the time :).

But I'm not sure they would be the best for teaching my students ...

I've noticed this happens to me when I run Wings at the same time as SL. Since they both use SDL, I suspected it was an SDL issue...
